freepats is a free and open set of instrument patches. A patchset isrequired for MIDI files to be audible through TiMidity++. These patchesalso work with applications that use SDL_mixer for MIDI audio.

To use freepats with TiMidity++ and/or SDL_mixer, edit /etc/timidity.cfg and make it look like this: source /etc/timidity/freepats.cfg

Alternatively, use crude.cfg instead of freepats.cfg to use substitutepatches that fill in missing entries in the tone bank.
